About Me

When Till moved to NYC in 1991 his friend Olaf Casimir hooked him up with a few numbers. Brian was the first stop from JFK and Till ended up sleeping on his sofa in Fort Greene for about three months. A year later, when looking for a pad with german trombonist Nils Worgram, the two ended up directly next door to Oliver Von Essen and his wife Giovanni. After numerous pick up gigs and a few weekly residencies at places like Bell Cafe, L'attitude, Nublu they did their self titled first recording in 1998. Time has passed and this spring the three decided that it was time to record a new musicl calling card, resulting in "Raw and Cut loose" of which you can sample some trax on this site. We hope you'll enjoy, we did!
